Hi Anders,

Honestly, I think the younger fresh grads should be more concerned about *you*! The key is to just be honest when you apply — and to focus on your “benefit to consumer.” You should absolutely address the fact that you’re older (and more experienced!) than the average applicant, and explain exactly why that would make you a unique and valuable asset to their internship program. Remember that when you’re applying for internships or jobs or projects that you’re copywriting for yourself – and it’s your job to sell yourself to your target audience. 🙂

Thanks for commenting!
Nicki

I’m nearly 33 and this is the position I’m currently finding myself in. I graduated from portfolio school in Chicago 2 years ago and struggled to find an internship straight after because I had to move back to Australia for visa reasons. The idea of an internship appeals to me greatly but I have this horrible feeling I’ve missed the boat and no agency will take me on now. Do you think I will face a greater uphill battle than the younger fresh grads I’ll be competing with?
